| Migration workshop |
Expert FICON consultants meet with your mainframe storage team to discuss FICON technology and available solutions. A typical migration workshop agenda covers:
- Business issues and technology constraints that might drive your business to a FICON migration
- ESCON to FICON migration overview
- Real client case studies with results achieved
- Assessment process and possible next steps
|
|
| Architecture assessment |
Our experts review your full mainframe environment, including channels, switches/directors, remote replication infrastructure, disk, tape, and virtual tape solutions. We then conduct simulation modeling based on SMF/RMF data collected during the assessment to model FICON configurations. A recommendation is developed to provide a performance and cost optimized solution, which includes the design of a FICON infrastructure. |

| Implementation |
We will deploy the new FICON environment, including cable
plant design, project management, hardware gens (IOCP/HCD)
and testing. |
